One more fishin' trip

Postby MOUNTIN DU » Sun Oct 03, 2010 8:45 pm

After spending the last 3 weekends at huntin' camp gettin' ready for deer season, I finally made it back down to my fishin' camp on the coast for a fishin' trip. One of my camp neighbors & I boxed our 50 fish limit of speckled trout Friday morning. Here's a couple pictures before my camera battery went dead. :roll:

Pretty cool looking fish! Especially with those canine teeth. I had too google them and read they are actually a species of drum fish. Makes me want to hit the lake again next week for rainbow's and Crawfish. :mrgreen:

Speckled trout is one of my absolute favorite fish to eat...and catch. Looks like you had a good trip. What the heck is that coming out of the fish's mouth? looks like a lead head on steroids!

Trout is my favorite!

Two strips of bacon, one in the belly cavity, and on over the top, wrap in foil and place over the coals.

:D hey that's right 206 ;) the males drum very loudly when hooked and hauled aboard the boat. i think it's typical of all the male drum fishes, hence the name. ;) they are a VERY popular saltwater fish followed closely by the red drum (redfish) for recreation and eating all along the coast. we have very liberal limits of both 25/person trout with a 12" minimum size; 5/person redfish between 16"-27", one of which can be over 27". 8-)

:| BM... those jigheads are $6 per pack of 4 :oops: but worth the money. wide gap, needle sharp, black nickle hooks don't miss and don't rust in saltwater 8-)

:D ...as for eating, they are second only to flounder as table fare Image

What do they taste like? Might have to pay you to send some up this way. :mrgreen:

PM me with the info, I promise I'll only use them in AL (....or Harrison CO. MS) :D Confession: I've never brought home a cooler full of specks like that.

8-) it's gettin' too close to huntin' season now :? but next spring; starting in March, just shoot me a note if you wanna come down and stay at the camp for a long weekend and catch your own :D i have a 24' bayboat & an 18' custom built aluminum boat for fishin' inshore or offshore. day fishin' or night fishin' :) i met some guys from chicago on a fishin' website and they come down 3 or 4 times a year. if bowfishin' is your fancy i can do that too! i'm not a guide, all i ask is help with the gas money, i can provide the food, room & board, boat & gear, great time ;)
